Dilhemma over. Last four weeks there has been a lot of squeeking and grinding noises comming from the bottom end and the crank play getting worse each time. Decided to remove and inspect. Discovered LH bearing cup totally disintegrated, and only good luck holding the 5 ball bearings on the lip...

Since entering the world of pedelecs - i have covered almost 2000 miles on my trusty Tesco Hopper folder. I bought this bike as i live 500yds from that store, and thinking after day one it could end up on e-bay or a skip. However, it has served me very well considering it might not be fitted...

I have been using a Drift170HD this past three years. Comes with 5 different attachments, one of which is for helmet and another for handlebars. Has 3 resolution settings, so lower will give you plenty of record time. I carry spare recharge battery - not expensive. Go-Pro is more expensive and...

Took a few days across to Lochgoilhead, for a cycle around the loch.. Weather was a bit misty with low cloud, but not cold. Discovered the true meaning of Steep - but very enjoyable. Some slopes did have me pushing the bike. Maybe asking too much for a little town folder. Very beautiful and...

Yes that was a deliberate omission.

After seeing that video they might just revoke my visa. Had a bit of a problem with the plastic Drift HD mount on handlebar - it got broken in the carry bag. So had to balance it with one hand on the handlebar. Hence i had to chop out a fair bit of footage. Will have to get something a good...

Yes there is a high road - but i took the low road. Hold on.......... Sounds like a song comming on.

Its very beautiful, with the friendlest people on the planet. Road is ten miles long and completely straight. Very flat apart from a little steep bit out of Bowmore. Must have bagpipes - its Scotland :cool:

Yep - two more cars passed me on the low road :rolleyes:

Hi David have fun on your new bike. Like yourself i have a folder for the last 5 months (which seems to be holding together O.K.). Have clocked up over 600miles, and enjoying every minute. Being 60 years old, 18.5 stone and ex heavy smoker. Now down to 17 stone and breathing much better...

Naa wormholes are too unreliable. Probably an Interstella Gateway.

Did for me. Just cut to size and glued with impact adhesive on the plastic mudguards.

Ah those lovely little yellow tins. Are you sure about the age thing!

Yes that was me. A month later i got another puncture. So after much searching older posts I fitted 2 Schwalbe 20" Big Apples and heavy duty tubes. Guess what i got another puncture 3 weeks later. A slow puncture as i found my bike the next morning fallen over its side stand. Could not find...

Both those bikes look like the job. I do like the chainguard and rear carrier, which mine hasn't. I find the chain marks up trousers, so i usually wear black jog pants. I fitted a basket on the front, but if its loaded up well the steering feels a bit off - tend to use a backpack more. Can't...

Hi Paul and welcome. Have recently bought a "Tesco Hopper" e-bike to restart cycling after a break of over 40 years. Don't use it for work transport as i live two doors from my business - purely pleasure and shopping. Have only seen one other e-bike around Belfast since i got it a few months...

I bought 2 Big Apple tyres after considering all the comments in forum search. Fitted one on the back to try it out, and am impressed -helps in the backside department. Since then had the one puncture on the front Kenda tyre, but maybe keep it on for a while for comparison. Changed both tubes...

Just reached my first 110 miles this morning with only two punctures! :D

Yesterday went for a nice 16mile cycle along river towpath. Underneath the dark motorway tunnel some kind person had scattered drawing pins. 8 stuck on front wheel and 6 on rear. Had tools/repair kit and tube with me, but i would take ages to repair. So pushed it a few miles to nearest road...

Pedelec has given me my life back Just how i feel. Took my hopper out today for 24 mile spin (about 20% under my own steam), and must admit thoroughly enjoyed it. Its over 45 years since i rode a bike and was8 stone lighter:rolleyes:. However my backside didn't appreciate it as much...
